PRE-SAFE®takes the following measuresdepending on the hazardous situation detected:
Rthe front seat belts are pre-tensioned.
Rif the vehicle skids, the side windows and thesliding sunroof are closed.
Rvehicles with the memory function for thefront-passenger seat: the front-passengerseat is adjusted if it is in an unfavorable posi-tion.
If the hazardous situation passes without result-
ing in an accident, PRE-SAFE®slackens the belt
pre-tensioning. All settings made by PRE-SAFE®
can then be reversed.
If the seat belt pre-tensioning is not reduced:
XMove the seat backrest or seat back slightlywhen the vehicle is stationary.The seat belt pre-tensioning is reduced andthe locking mechanism is released.
The seat-belt adjustment is an integral part of
the PRE-SAFE®convenience function. Informa-tion about the convenience function can befound under "Belt adjustment" (Ypage 47).
PRE-SAFE®PLUS (anticipatory occu-
pant protection system PLUS)
Introduction
PRE-SAFE®PLUS is only available in vehicleswith the Driving Assistance package.
Using the radar sensor system, PRE-SAFE®
PLUS is able to detect that a frontal or rear-endcollision is imminent. In certain hazardous sit-
uations, PRE-SAFE®PLUS takes pre-emptivemeasures to protect the vehicle occupants.
Important safety notes
The intervention of PRE-SAFE®PLUS cannotprevent an imminent collision.
The driver is not warned about the intervention
of PRE-SAFE®PLUS.
PRE-SAFE®PLUS does not intervene:
Rif the vehicle is backing up
Rwhen the vehicle is towing a trailer and thereis a risk of a rear-end collision
When driving, or when parking or exiting a park-ing space using Active Parking Assist, PRE-
SAFE®PLUS will not apply the brakes.
Function
PRE-SAFE®PLUS intervenes in certain situa-tions if the radar sensor system detects animminent frontal or rear-end collision.
PRE-SAFE®PLUS takes the following measuresdepending on the hazardous situation detected:
Rif the radar sensor system detects that ahead-on collision is imminent, the seat beltsare pre-tensioned.
Rif the radar sensor system detects that a rear-end collision is imminent:
-the brake pressure is increased if the driverapplies the brakes when the vehicle is sta-tionary.
-the seat belts are pre-tensioned.
The PRE-SAFE®PLUS braking application is can-celed:
Rif the accelerator pedal is depressed when agear is engaged
Rif the risk of a collision passes or is no longerdetected
Rif Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC indicatesan intention to intervene
If the hazardous situation passes without result-ing in an accident, the original settings arerestored.
Automatic measures after an acci-
dent
Immediately after an accident, the followingmeasures are implemented, depending on thetype and severity of the impact:
Rthe hazard warning lamps are switched on
Rthe emergency lighting is activated
Rthe vehicle doors are unlocked
Rthe front side windows are lowered
Rvehicles with a memory function: the electri-cally adjustable steering wheel is raised whenthe driver's door is opened
Rthe engine is switched off and the fuel supplyis cut off
Rvehicles with mbrace: automatic emergencycall

Safety

For more information, please contact a qualifiedspecialist workshop.
Please observe the manufacturer's operatinginstructions for the trailer coupling if a detach-able trailer coupling is used.
Couple and uncouple the trailer carefully. If youdo not couple the trailer to the towing vehiclecorrectly, the trailer could become detached.
Make sure that the following values are notexceeded:
Rthe permissible trailer drawbar noseweight
Rthe permissible trailer load
Rthe permissible rear axle load of the towingvehicle
Rthe maximum permissible gross vehicleweight of both the towing vehicle and thetrailer
The applicable permissible values, which mustnot be exceeded, can be found:
Rin the vehicle documents
Ron the type plate for the trailer
Ron the vehicle identification plate
If the values differ, the lowest value applies.
When towing a trailer, your vehicle's handlingcharacteristics will be different in comparisonwith when driving without a trailer.
The vehicle/trailer combination:
Ris heavier
Ris restricted in its acceleration and gradient-climbing capability
Rhas an increased braking distance
Ris affected more by strong crosswinds
Rdemands more sensitive steering
Rhas a larger turning circle
This could impair the handling characteristics.
When towing a trailer, always adjust your speedto the current road and weather conditions. Donot exceed the maximum permissible speed foryour vehicle/trailer combination.
Notes on towing a trailer
General notes
RDo not exceed the maximum permissiblespeed for vehicle/trailer combinations in therelevant country.
This lowers the risk of an accident.
ROnly install an approved trailer coupling onyour vehicle.
Further information on availability and oninstallation is available from any authorizedMercedes-Benz Center.
RThe bumpers of your vehicle are not suitablefor installing detachable trailer couplings.
RDo not install hired trailer couplings or otherdetachable trailer couplings on the bumpersof your vehicle.
RIf you no longer need the ball coupling,remove it from the ball coupling recess. Thiswill reduce the risk of damage to the ball cou-pling.
When towing a trailer, set the tire pressure onthe rear axle of the towing vehicle for a maxi-mum load; see the tire pressure table in the fuelfiller flap (Ypage 348).
Please note that when towing a trailer, the fol-lowing driving systems have limited availabilityor are not available at all:
RPARKTRONIC (Ypage 179)
RBlind Spot Assist (Ypage 193)
RActive Lane Keeping Assist (Ypage 200)
On vehicles without level control, the height ofthe ball coupling will alter according to the loadplaced on the vehicle. If necessary, use a trailerwith a height-adjustable drawbar.
You will find permissible trailer loads under"Technical data" (Ypage 364).
Driving tips
Observe the information on ESP®trailer stabili-zation (Ypage 71) and on pulling away with atrailer (Ypage 135).
The maximum permissible speed for vehicle/trailer combinations depends on the type oftrailer. Before beginning the journey, check thetrailer's documents to see what the maximumpermitted speed is. Observe the maximum per-missible speed in the relevant country.
For certain Mercedes-Benz vehicles, the maxi-mum permissible rear axle load is increasedwhen towing a trailer. See the "Technical data"section to find out whether this applies to yourvehicle (Ypage 365). In the event of increasedrear axle load, the vehicle/trailer combinationmay not exceed a maximum speed of 60 mph(100 km/h) for reasons concerning the operat-ing permit. This also applies in countries in
